Description

Hotels need qualified workers who can step into a job with a solid foundation of skills in their specific area, as well as general knowledge about the hospitality industry. AHLEI offers six line-level training programs designed to give your clients the edge they need to fill those positions at properties in your region.​ START (Skills, Tasks, and Results Training) for Individual Positions offers flexible and concise instructions on how to perform key tasks, along with the general hospitality knowledge and soft skills needed to succeed in a front-line position at a lodging property. Training culminates in a certification exam leading to a professional designation for your clients. ​ Certification gives job seekers a competitive edge over non-certified candidates. It may also increase job retention and lead to opportunities to earn higher wages. ​
